Mompreneurs Making Moves

Hey friends — Amariah here! This week on Mompreneurs Making Moves, I sat down with Jenny Suneson, founder of Moms Make Money Collective, where she teaches moms how to build profitable service-based businesses in 20 hours or less.

Jenny's approach skips the burnout playbook entirely — no big teams, no social media dependency, no grinding for likes. Instead, she helps moms grow their businesses quietly, strategically, and on their own timeline using podcasting as a core visibility strategy.

In our conversation, we talked about what it really looks like to build "momentum in the margins" — growing a business during nap time, school pickup windows, and every other fragmented pocket of a mom's day — and why sustainable growth often looks nothing like what social media tells us success should look like.

Hey friends — Amariah here! This week on Mompreneurs Making Moves, I sat down with Rhea Lana Riner, CEO and Founder of Rhea Lana's Children's Consignment Events, a national franchise with 120 locations across 26 states.

What started as a simple clothing swap in Rhea Lana's living room in 1997 has grown into a multi-million-dollar company — all while keeping motherhood, family, and community at its core. Rhea Lana has spent decades mentoring thousands of women into entrepreneurship, helping them grow personally, professionally, and spiritually along the way.

In our conversation, Rhea Lana shared the moment that turned a living room gathering into a scalable business, what she's learned about navigating different seasons of motherhood without losing herself, and what "success" really means to her after 35 years of marriage, three grown kids, and five grandchildren. This episode is a heartfelt roadmap for any woman ready to grow boldly into her next chapter.

Hey friends — Amariah here! This week on Mompreneurs Making Moves, I sat down with Ashley Gross, a Wiley published author, AI strategist, and the founder of AI Workforce Alliance and AI Workforce Academy.

Ashley built a $115 million pipeline before AI was even a buzzword, and now she helps executives lead, build, and think with AI — all while raising a little human of her own. When maternity leave wasn't an option for her, she didn't push through the burnout. She automated her way out of it.

In our conversation, we got into how AI is already embedded in tools you're using every single day — Gmail, Outlook, Google — and how to start using it strategically without becoming a "tech person" overnight. Ashley shared her top three practical ways to reclaim your time, how to know which tasks are safe to hand off to AI (and which ones absolutely aren't), and why your expertise is still the most irreplaceable thing in your business.

If you've ever felt buried under busy work or overwhelmed by the AI hype, this episode is your permission to stop overthinking it and start using what's already at your fingertips.

In this episode, we talk with Amanda, self-proclaimed “awkward mom of three” and founder of Chaos Coordination, about how she built a heart-led business through the power of copywriting that connects. She opens up about finding her voice amid motherhood mayhem, balancing creativity and strategy, and why “awkward” can actually be your best brand asset.
